Under Rocket attack !!

[NormanD]

Bazooka rockets I destroyed one a few years back after they fired it at my dog while he was tied up in the garden.

This thing was well made too, it was a length of 3" PVC pipe that was capped at one end with a tin lid (araldited in place), had two toy gun handles glued onto it and a sheet of perspex (stolen from a local bus shelter no doubt) to act as a face guard.

I watched the little darlings load it too .. one had the bazooka over his shoulder and pointed upwards (crouched down) while the other lite the rocket and drop it into the pipe, then the lad holding it would take up the proper firring position and whoosh this thing was pretty accurate too.

I smashed the thing against the corner of a wall after they fired at my dog and dropped it as I ran screaming at them from out of the house, this thing could have been lethal.

Of course I got the usual shouts from distance "I'm telling my dad, he'll kick your head in" who of course never arrived

I suppose the chances of injury are low due to the fact that most fireworks arent heat seeking or very controllable but it is for me the fact that someone sees someone else as being a target for explosives, a bit of fun that potentially could cause a really nasty injury, but you would get in trouble if you hit someone who did this to you.

Luckily you would never see this sort of activity in Belfast

Did you tell her to sling her hook?

Perhaps you should have said to her you would kindly give her kid the hiding it should have had from it's parents years ago .

This the sad state of society we live in now.

I would have chopped his hand off personally

If they are firing from a bazooka type weapon, I would probably call the police and watch them shoot themselves as they find themselves on the wrong end of several HK MP-5s which they will inevitably be.
